The Kid Laroi and Scooter Braun part ways
The Kid Laroi has hooked up new management.
The Aussie singer and rapper parts ways with Scooter Braun, just three months after joining the high-profile manager’s SB Projects, and is said to have slipped into Adam Leber’s roster of Rebel Management.
Prior to joining SB Projects, The Kid was represented by Grade A Projects.
According to Billboard, which broke the story, Laroi and Braun split on amicable terms.
The Kid Laroi is the hottest of property. His hit song ‘Stay,’ a collaboration with Justin Bieber, is the No. 1 song on the planet right now.
This week, ‘Stay’ chalks up six straight weeks atop the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, a stint that ties it for the third-longest reign for a song by two or more co-billed solo male leads in the survey’s 63-year history.

With that feat, his mixtape became just the 14th collection to take a full year to scale the summit since the Billboard 200 began publishing on a weekly cycle in March 1956.
